It seems that everything is set up properly using OSS. Can you tell us how
you are trying to play sound? What program are you using? Are you running
an environment with a sound daemon, such as KDE or Gnome? Have you used a
mixer to check the volume levels and mute settings?
Also, it may be important to tell us, to the best of your memory, what
changed in-between the sound working and it not working. Did you upgrade
software? Change some hardware? Anything you can remember might be
important.
